The Supreme Court, having on the bench the Chief Justice, Bernard Yeung Sik Yuen and Justice Bushan Domah, has set aside with cost the application for Judicial Review entered by Bashir Nazeer against a ruling of Magistrate Priscilla Vanisha Veerabudren upholding the taxes and fine imposed on the latter by the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA).

The Full Bench of the Supreme Court, constituted of the Chief Justice, Bernard Yeung Sik Yuen and Justices Ah Foon Chui Yew Cheong and Rehana Mungly-Gulbul, in a ruling delivered last week, refused to grant leave to Jacques Jonathan Benjamin Virassamy to appeal to the Privy Council against the judgment of the Court of Criminal appeal upholding his conviction by the Assises Court to 36 years’ penal servitude for assassination.
